Rosie O'Donnell Leaving 'The View' Again

Rosie O'Donnell is leaving ABC talk show The View next week, Variety reports.

According to her publicist. O'Donnell, who recently divorced her wife, is departing so that she can spend more time with her family.

"This has been a very stressful situation. She is putting her personal health and family first. ABC has been wonderfully understanding and supportive of her personal decision to leave The View. Next week will be her last."

ABC released a statement about O'Donnell's departure.

"Rosie is an immensely talented star who comes in each and every morning brimming with ideas, excitement and passion for the show. When she told us she wanted to exit The View, we respected and understood her desire to put her well-being and her family first. We’re delighted she’s still part of the ABC family with upcoming guest appearances on ‘The Fosters,’ and we know she’ll return to ‘The View’ often with her unique point of view and updates on her work and her family.
